Nmap 5.00 Released!



Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility for network exploration or security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are avalable for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), and a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff).

Nmap was named “Security Product of the Year” by Linux Journal, Info World, LinuxQuestions.Org, and Codetalker Digest. It was even featured in eight movies, including The Matrix Reloaded, Die Hard 4, and The Bourne Ultimatum.

Nmap is ...

  • Flexible: Supports dozens of advanced techniques for mapping out networks filled with IP filters, firewalls, routers, and other obstacles. This includes many port scanningmechanisms (both TCP & UDP), OS detection, version detection, ping sweeps, and more. See the documentation page.
  • Powerful: Nmap has been used to scan huge networks of literally hundreds of thousands of machines.
  • Portable: Most operating systems are supported, including Linux, Microsoft Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, IRIX, Mac OS X, HP-UX, NetBSD, Sun OS, Amiga, and more.
  • Easy: While Nmap offers a rich set of advanced features for power users, you can start out as simply as "nmap -v -A targethost". Both traditional command line and graphical (GUI) versions are available to suit your preference. Binaries are available for those who do not wish to compile Nmap from source.
  • Free: The primary goals of the Nmap Project is to help make the Internet a little more secure and to provide administrators/auditors/hackers with an advanced tool for exploring their networks. Nmap is available for free download, and also comes with full source code that you may modify and redistribute under the terms of the license.
  • Well Documented: Significant effort has been put into comprehensive and up-to-date man pages, whitepapers, tutorials, and even a whole book! Find them in multiple languages here.
  • Supported: While Nmap comes with no warranty, it is well supported by a vibrant community of developers and users. Most of this interaction occurs on the Nmap mailing lists. Most bug reports and questions should be sent to the nmap-dev list, but only after you read the guidelines. We recommend that all users subscribe to the low-traffic nmap-hackers announcement list.
  • Acclaimed: Nmap has won numerous awards, including "Information Security Product of the Year" by Linux Journal, Info World and Codetalker Digest. It has been featured in hundreds of magazine articles, several movies, dozens of books, and one comic book series. Visit the press page for further details.
  • Popular: Thousands of people download Nmap every day, and it is included with many operating systems (Redhat Linux, Debian Linux, Gentoo, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc). It is among the top ten (out of 30,000) programs at the Freshmeat.Net repository. This is important because it lends Nmap its vibrant development and user support communities

ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi Logger with Browser GPS + Heat Map Dashboard

This project is an ESP-IDF firmware for the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-C6 that turns the board into a self-hosted, secure Wi-Fi scanning logger. It creates its own access point, serves a responsive HTTPS web UI, logs nearby Wi-Fi access points, optionally tags rows with GPS coordinates (provided by the client browser), and exposes battery status from the on-board LiPo input. The end result is a pocket Wi-Fi “survey” tool: scan, track, export logs as CSV, and generate a heat map view to visualize RSSI vs location. Project overview and feature set: :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} What it does AP + Station mode so the device can serve the dashboard while scanning nearby Wi-Fi networks. HTTPS web interface using a bundled certificate/key for local secure access. Single scan and continuous tracking modes. CSV export for analysis and archiving. Persistent logging to SPIFFS at /spiffs/logs.csv . Battery monitoring via ADC with voltage/percentage/status sh...

learn how to sniff wireless passwords with pirni

The thing about the iPod Touch and the iPhone is that they are great portable hacking devices. To the naked eye the iPod Touch/iPhone looks like nothing more than an ordinary mp3 player/cellphone however that is just an understatement to its full potential. Once your Ipod Touch/iPhone is jailbroken you have access to your whole file system meaning that applications generally associated with laptop/desktop hacking can be ported and used on the iPod Touch/iPhone. This opens up a whole lot of possibilities for network sniffing, port scanning and much much more! In this tutorial we are going to take a look at one of these programs called Pirni. What is Pirni? Pirni is an application that was ported to The Ipod Touch/iPhone to be used as a native network sniffer. Pirni is so useful because it gets past the iPod Touch’s/iPhone’s wifi hardware limitation of not being able to be set into promiscious mode (a mode that allows a network device to intercept and read each network packet that arrive...

how to run a GUI application throw SSH using X11

soo all we need is first to install the ssh server on the server - machine we like to control so - 1. sudo su 2. apt-get install openssh-server . . now back to our machine using the ssh : 1. ssh -V -X username@the-server-ip 2. enter the password and that is it now we can run any GUI application that install on the server using his CPU cycles yahhhh great !! for example lets run WireShark : 3. gksudo wireshark & now all that if we runing tow Linux machines !! but what windows users that like to run a linux app??! !! soo we need it tow applications 1. putty you can get it here : http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html 2.Xming you can get it here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ ok so first we need to install Xming , and after that we going to use butty but we need to cheak Enable X11 forwarding in connection -- > SSH -- > X11 >> Enable x11 forwarding . and that is it free to run any linux application on windows using SSH . have fun ...
